The IMAX website has many helpful suggestions in terms of design, ranging from "Art Deco" to "Bamboo." It'll only cost you $400,000. Considering that the average movie ticket in 2016 costs $8.58, this thing will practically pay for itself if you're buying 46,000 or so movie tickets a year.

If you want to really live large, IMAX offers the Theater Platinum package, which is so luxurious IMAX won't even discuss the details on its website, save that it will fit between 20 and 40 people. IMAX expects to open showrooms in New York, Toronto, and Los Angeles soon. There are currently showrooms open in Shanghai and Hainan, China.
